Authors' objectives:
"To establish the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of cinacalcet for the treatment of SHPT for people on dialysis due to ESRD." (from executive summary)
Authors' recommendations:
Cinacalcet in addition to standard care is more effective than placebo plus standard care at reducing PTH levels without compromising calcium levels. However, there is limited information about the impact of this reduction on patient-relevant clinical outcomes. Given the short follow-up in the trials, it is unclear how data should be extrapolated to the long term. Together with the high drug cost, this leads to cinacalcet being unlikely to be considered cost-effective.
